Denying a genocide is highly related to one's political motives.
After all, human history is full of genocides and large scale massacres. So, we should all agree that human beings are capable of committing sheer violence.
Respectfully, we must agree that most Armenians died during the WWI are the victims of policies of the Committee of Union and Progress, and we should be respectful in relation to the memories of all innocent people died during such violent episodes of human history.
I think, how a certain country or a political wing formulates its stance should not matter. What matters is how one perceives the misdeeds and how one could recall such tragedies in a humanly manner.

whether the genocide happened or not is irrelevant. The law is an attack against freedom of expression and speeche. They're trying to tell us how to think and control it with false feelings of guilt by using law, so labels such as ' criminal, denier, anti democracy can be used against people. For sure it is an attempt to criminalize certain perceptions on historical matters, precisely on the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide. Holocaust is recognized internationally, so no problem about it. However, going back in history and picking only one ordeal that happened prior to 1948 might place severe impact on international relations.

There is good news related to this:
France wont be able to play the Armenian card against Turkey anymore.
There is bad news too:
The relations will deteriorate between two countries on various aspects.
The relations between France and Azerbaijan will also degrade in tandem.
Thus, this bill is not going to pave ways for some reconciliation process amongst Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

One reading through the history of mankind, could pick numerous genocides.
It is true that human nature could yield sheer violence.
On contrary, people could also set up peaceful networks promoting common benefits.
At the end of the day, France is not helping such cause, and Turkey is not doing the homework.
Nevertheless, making peace with one's history is not a bad thing as long as everything gets under the spot light in humanly manner.
With current state of world politics, we all know that forging such a delicate process is not possible.

Greeks express outrage at ‘Fetih 1453’ film
12 January 2012 / HASAN HACI , ATHENS Turkish director Faruk Aksoy's latest film, “Fetih 1453” (The Conquest 1453), a historical epic movie alluding to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, has yet to hit the big screen but it is already sparking controversy, with many Greeks branding the movie as provocative and racist. An article published on a Greek Internet site on Wednesday slamming the film as “$17 million worth of Turks' conquest propaganda,” prompted comments from hundreds of angry Greek readers, who vented their outrage at a film that they feel belittles and insults their nation. The film, which was produced on a budget of $17 million, making it the most expensive Turkish film to date, is set to be released in cinemas around the world including the US, France, the United Arab Emirates and the UK in February. One comment on the article reads, “Director Faruk Aksoy has been unsuccessful in presenting important aspects of that period such as the massacre and plundering of Rum [ethnic Greek people living in İstanbul],” while another criticizes Aksoy's work as being one-sided and delusional. “What film will we be watching next?” one angry reader demands, adding: “The İzmir disaster? Or the expulsion of Greek Cypriots [from the northern part of Cyprus]?” A reader named Kostas demands that the film be banned from being shown in Greece: “This anti-Greek and racist film should not be allowed to be screened in Greece! If the Germans decided to make a high-budget film on the massacres of Jews during WW II, would this be shown in Israel?” However, not all the responses to the article expressed negativity towards the film; a Greek named Hristos praised Aksoy for his production. “I think they have done a very good job. There are many poorly made productions of accounts of the fall of Constantinople, it is about time a high-quality production was made,” he said. A reader by the name of Yannis questioned the nature of films depicting the heroic deeds of the Evzones, elite units of the Greek Army who resisted Ottoman rule. “Are these films not propaganda too?” he asked. Another reader named Aleksandra said: “When the film is released we will all be rushing to watch it. I am not commenting on the content of the film, but the scenes are very dramatic!” Aksoy's film, which was written by Atilla Engin and İrfan Saruhan, stars actors Devrim Evin, İbrahim Celikkol, Cengiz Coşkun, Recep Aktuğ and Dilek Serbest and will open in theaters on Feb. 17. www.todayszaman.com/news-268388-greeks-express-outrage-at-fetih-1453-film.html

Maybe Kastor can migrate to Turkey. That is if Germany doesn't want him. Well, Greek is not German's favorite nation these days.

According to certain Turkish members here, the Sitting Bull was Turk. Apart from this, I still wonder under what nick this Bill guy has posted so far. I do not know about Sitting Bull, but Khan Kubrat was a Turk.
